“Our focus has been on delivering a superior customer experience – from easily finding a parking space with our parking guidance system to convenient check-in processing and a variety of concession options before boarding,” said airport executive vice president Khaled Naja.

With the new gates opening, the airport will shut down gates E2 through E10 for renovations which includes gates for United Airlines. It is the final phase of Terminal E construction and is expected to be completed in late 2017.
